Pes’

a river in Novgorod and Vologda oblasts, RSFSR, a right tributary of the Chagoda River, which is known as Chagodo-shcha in the lower reaches, where it flows in the Volga River basin. The Pes’ is 145 km long and drains an area of 2,730 sq km. It rises in Lake Rakitinskoe (area, 2.7 sq km). It is fed primarily by snow. The mean flow rate 123 km from the mouth is 6.4 cu m per sec. The Pes’ freezes in November or December, and the ice breaks up in April or early May. Timber is floated on the river.

I also remember large water-filled footbaths with conduction plates in the bottom on which clients would place their feet to have electrical currents passed through them to cure pes planus (apparently).

The foot should be examined for pes planus, hypermobility of the first ray, Achilles tendon contracture, and MTP joint mobility, which have all been implicated, but not necessarily established, as risk factors for hallux valgus formation.
